Home (power) on the range Net-zero renewable energy system powering cattle ranch in Southern California. The firm Energy Options of Lancaster, California (north of Los Angeles) was given a design and installation challenge that most companies dream of: design and build a net-zero renewable energy system with 100% battery backup big enough to run a cattle ranch in southern California where there were three independent utility services on the same property— and where the existing centralized back-up power plant was hundreds of feet away from any of those services. Adding to the system’s complexity, 13 additional grid-tied inverters needed to be AC-coupled for battery charging in off-grid mode. Twenty OutBack Radians in a 160kW four-zone configuration were the perfect solution, through their high output capacity, auxiliary relays, and highly programmable MATE3 Controller. When the power goes out, the OutBack components run the show, using the combined capacity of a 91kW of PV/ solar array, a 10kW wind turbine, and two 100kW generators to charge an 11 ton, 6,750 Amp hour battery bank—the ultimate combination of system-management brains and power-conversion brawn.
